Machinery
Lubrication
wrong, excellence comes from optimum choices
and cer tainly not wasteful or unnecessar y
choices. Precision lubrication means a state
of not too much and not too little. You want
a lean, optimum state of excellence. The oper-
ating conditions and need for reliability define
the optimum state.
The lube room is the perfect place to display
and emphasize the best example of optimized
lubrication excellence. A big part of excellence
is not the result of money spent, but rather a
high state of tidiness, attention to detail, quality
and organization. The lube room should be a
showcase of what enables machines to run reli-
ably and at the lowest possible cost. It should
be a place of pride and a glaring statement of
strong and effective lubrication and reliability
values. It should represent and instill the rights
of lubrication.
